DID YOU KNOW?

Every script that is entered into Scriptapalooza is read by either a producer, manager or agent. We do not use “readers” or “regular people” because they cannot do anything with your script.

We go right to the source – a producer, manager or agent, they can make a difference, they can option your script, buy it, set-up a meeting or go straight to the studio with it.
